Vista - Set/Create Registry Values

I am trying to search registry values and either create a value if
it's not there or set the cirrect value it should have via the
following function:

function Compare2([string]$TermtoMatch, [string]$RegType, [int]
$RegValue, [string]$RegistryPath) {
$value = Get-ItemProperty -path $RegistryPath
if ($value -match $TermtoMatch) { Set-ItemProperty $RegistryPath -
Name $TermtoMatch -value $RegValue }
Else { New-ItemProperty $RegistryPath -Name $TermtoMatch -value
$RegValue -propertyType RegType }
}

Here's a snippet of the code calling the function:

$RegistryPath = "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk
\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Storages\FileSystem\RealTimeScan"

Compare2("ConfigRestart", "dword", 1, $RegistryPath)

Here's the error:
Get-ItemProperty : Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it
is an empty string.
At C:\script.ps1:2 char:33
+ $value = Get-ItemProperty -Path <<<< $RegistryPath
The '-match' operator failed: parsing "ConfigRestart dword 1 "HKLM:
\SOFTWARE\Intel\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Storages
\FileSystem\RealTimeScan" - Unrecognized escape sequence \I..
At C:\script.ps1:3 char:19
+ if ($value -match <<<< $TermtoMatch) {

Any ideas what I'm missing here? I'm thinking it has something to do
with casting, but when I manually put the values in for the variables
it seems to work just fine.

Thanks!

remove brackets and commas.
